Historic Downtown Creede: Walking Tour

Experience the history and charm of the western mining town of Creede--the late 19th-century architecture and stunning natural setting make for an unforgettable visit to the west end of the San Luis Valley. Set between the surrounding cliffs of Willow Creek Canyon once romanticized as "Devil's Gate" by local 19th-century poet Harriet Wason, today downtown Creede is home to an exceptional selection of shops, art galleries, and eateries, as well as the nationally acclaimed Creede Repertory Theatre. Pick up the self-guided walking tour booklet at the Creede Historic Museum or in downtown stores to get the back-story on Creede's many fabulous structures.
